What are functional capacity evaluations and work conditioning programs?
The primary purpose of functional capacity evaluations and work conditioning evaluations are to determine an individual’s functional abilities and limitations in a safe environment while focusing on the demands of work tasks related to your job.
The service we provide at Orchard Park Progressive Physical Therapy is an effective tool to safely assess your ability to work and/or establish baseline abilities for disability evaluations. Our FCE and Work Conditioning Evaluations correlate a client’s functional capabilities to the essential physical demands of their job to determine whether they meet these physical demands.
The FCE and Work Conditioning Evaluations use specific criteria throughout the assessment to determine if there is consistent effort and whether pain ratings match the effort. Upon completion of the testing, we provide a comprehensive report outlining the worker’s results and physical capability.
What to expect at Orchard Park Progressive Physical Therapy sessions
At your initial evaluation, we will perform a comprehensive assessment and thorough history that includes the physical demands of your home, work, recreational life, and your overall health status. We use this information to identify all the possible factors related to your pain/injury and design a treatment program based on the findings.
Our industrial rehab-trained therapists specialize in treating the injured worker during any phase of the injury, including before or after surgery. We integrate functional and work-specific movements into our therapy programs.
We believe educating our patients to take control of their symptoms is a key to a successful outcome and preventing future episodes. Our goal is to help you safely return to work and avoid future problems from interfering with your life!
